Article Summary: One of the beneficial effects of saving electricity is that you save up a lot of money. The more you save up on electricity the more of a positive impact on the earth since you need fossil fuels, oil, and other natural gasses to create electricity. The less electricity the less the transportation and that means less usage of fossil fuels, oil, and other natural gases. When you don't use electricity there is less burning of fossil fuels which is good for the environment. Not using electricity can also help you with your health like by turning of the T.V or Computer you might want to go outside and play with your friends or talk a walk around the park.

Reflection: I didn't noticed how many beneficial ways there were by just turning off a T.V or anything related to electricity. Maybe we can probably have a international no electricity day too so we can help everyone and especially the environment. 

Questions:

1. What other ways can you not use electricity?

2. What other beneficial factors are there by not using electricity?

3. Do you think we should get an international no electric day and explain

4. What is wrong on using electricity?

5. Can electricity cause global warming?

  1. I am going to reply to question number 3 because I think I have heard about a day like that. A while ago I remember seeing on TV a commercial for some kind of international "turn off your lights" thing for an hour. I think its definitely possible and should be encouraged. What do people think they did before electricity? They obviously survived, so I believe there should be a more hyped up day.

  2. To answer number 4: There is nothing wrong with using electricity; it was discovered and has proven to be one of the most helpful discoveries since the beginning of mankind. The real problem arises when people abuse electricity, like leaving their lights on when they don't need. Electricity is very crucial resource and should not be abused.

  3. To comment about the no electricity day. I think nickelodeon had a day of play day which was spending the day outside, and the channel was turne off for the day. I think that no electricity for a day is good.
